The Lamb had slipped into the stream, + 

And safe without a bruise or wound + 

The Cataract had borne him down + 

Into the gulf profound. + 

His Dam had seen him when he fell, + 

She saw him down the torrent borne; + 

And, while with all a mother’s love + 

She from the lofty rocks above + 

Sent forth a cry forlorn, + 

The Lamb, still swimming round and round, + 

Made answer to that plaintive sound. + 
